The rest of it wound up soaking into my shirt and underwear. Works Long/Long uniform policy does NOT help that bit whatsoever. Today isnt AS bad. I decided to bail out of work because I cant do any slashing anyway because of the fire risk and took a flexi day, so im at home. Its only  going to hit 39 deg C (102F) here in the hills today but tomorrow is going to be awful. 43 degrees, 45kph winds, catastrophic fire danger rating. And thats up in the hills. Down on the flatlands in the city its looking to spike to 45+ deg C.Im off sprinkler shopping so I can play with pop up sprinklers for my lawn

I need house layout feedback. This is the footprint of the house + garage’s first floor pre-fire - the dashed line section is the now-gone 3 car garage:  Now here’s what the first pass back from the architect about putting <house> where <garage> was. I’m struggling with the huge and more or less empty family room... The new master above would be nice (as you can see the current master has a fairly small bathroom) as would the laundry room being moved upstairs, but yeah, I’m trying to figure out how this all fits together. The full basement isn’t on here.   Tldr I don’t want to add Sq footage just for the sake of space, I want to figure out how we can make this usable. We’re not planning to flip the house even if this unintended remodel adds ~$200-300k value. PS, the garage is probably going to be a 40’x60’ to the east (right) of the house, probably free-standing for cost reasons (if attached it will cost a bunch more and I can build a breezeway later.)

I've got to agree with you, I'm really not a fan of just the big open space like that unless it's going to be something that physically takes up a ton of room. Maybe re-purpose it as an awesome rec room with a billiards table, a full wet bar/counter other side of the wall from the washroom? That will eat up floorspace. Big patio with a grilling area/fire pit on the west side? I presume the other room on the other side of the house south of the kitchen is your family room? e: Looks like you might have ~1400 sq/ft of new living space from the old garage. That's larger than a lot of houses! slidebite fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Dec 19, 2019 |

I dunno what I would do with all that space. I know someone who has a ~18x30 space, but they have a grand piano taking up a portion of it and used it pretty regularly.

I don't know that there's much you could reasonably do with an open space that big. Fill it up with oversized Restoration Hardware furniture? Maybe cut it in half and have an outdoor patio/hangout spot? Also, A Merry Impeachment day to one and all!

Seat Safety Switch posted:You could park cars in that room. “Honey, can you lift your legs off the coffee table? I gotta move the Raptor.” E: originally I wanted the wall of the new section to be even further west/left and then open up the corner of the kitchen and connect the new room to the kitchen. The pantry would more or less then be where the bathroom is on the architect’s new section. As it stands he put a door to the pantry where the stove currently is.

As of now we have 35 players in the Sheep Game. We've still got a few more days left to get answers in (this Sunday at 11PM EST/Monday at 0700 UTC) is the deadline, and I still think we can get deep into the fifties for submissions, but I'd love to see us break our record of 61, set two years ago. Let's get on this AI! Come get your answers in today!

Our new place has ducted aircon, it’s not like a fridge inside but it sure makes sleeping easier. Supposed to be 44 in Melbourne tomorrow, at least the car and the office have aircon. Might park the car in the warehouse to get it out of the sun!

Haha, That went a bit more wholesome than expected. I've been penny pinching for some time and discovered that flying to Sydney rather than Brisbane for a band I likes shows is cheaper (bigger city, bigger show). This is my first holiday/getaway solo in a long time and really excited about just escaping for a week without dealing with my job stuff constantly. Now I've discovered Tool is playing the week before I arrive. Lucky all my flights and accomodation are flexible bookings, now to save for the extra. (Yes I make some really good money, but I have some really big debt I'm screwing down as a priority.

I don't think a new Star Wars movie can come out at a worse time of year. I won't be able to watch it at midnight because I value sleep more at this point in my life (kids  ), and work is so slow that I will be on the internet most of the day Friday trying to not get it spoiled.

T-Square posted:I'm still figuring out the whole haircut thing. I just wore it long and shaggy and looked like a dork from middle school through high school, then after high school I just buzzed it short myself and also still looked like a dork. I started growing it out and actually going to a barber last year at some point I think or early this year, and while I definitely look and feel miles better about myself, I've been to four different barbers between three different shops and I can't get anyone to get my hair 100% how I want it to look. The lady I first started going to was my favorite so far, but then I moved and I'm not driving ~30 minutes for a haircut. First world problems. I found a stylist I liked when I had my 14" or so of hair cut off back around the time "Attack Of The Clones" came out, and continued using her after I moved 30 minutes away, until she retired this past March. I still haven't made the effort to find a new stylist/barber, and am well on my way back to that long hair, at 50. To balance it out, I haven't cut my beard since about then, either, except to trim wild hairs and such. I'll probably cut both after New Year's. freelop posted:Every time I think of IoT I think of this video on how to reset your GE smart lightbulb https://youtu.be/1BB6wj6RyKo Why don't they just have a hardware button on the bulb to reset, like almost every other electronic device that needs to be reset? This is a solved problem from the '80s. The Door Frame posted:Enjoy your Cyberbrain Sclerosis Because installing a smart light bulb is a lot easier than installing a smart switch, and I'll bet your dimmer can't make the light bulb change colors (yes, I know that particular bulb is white-only, but others are multicolor. I have a set of Geni bulbs I got because they were on some ridiculous sale at Costco, like under $20 for 6 of them. Current;y one is in party mode on the front porch to complement the Christmas lights). Krakkles posted:I mean, bulbs as IoT, I totally get - it's easier to install a bulb than to swap a switch (yeah, I know, not much, but still, this is why products succeed or fail), a dimmer switch doesn't give you colors, direct control over the bulb gives you more control than a single switch. beaten like a rental car.

Speaking of light bulbs... You know how there's a handful out that you can dim by flicking the switch off and on a few times? Specifically, these. We had them on clearance at work (for $1, down from like $15). Initial turn on is 100%, flick the switch off and on and you get 50%, do it again, you get 10%. Do it again and it's back to 100%. If you leave it off more than 5 seconds, it just returns to the last setting. I usually keep the ceiling light in my office at 10%. Power just flickered. I heard the UPS click on and start buzzing, and it got stupid bright in here. My fatass dove under the desk to unplug the UPS.... forgetting that the bulb got bright because it thought I'd flipped the switch. I thought everything was getting fed 240V instead of 120V... nope, the bulb just thought I wanted it to go to 100%. (also forgetting that my PC's PSU is auto switching... and forgetting my UPS would go to battery over ~135V anyway)

Tremek posted:I need house layout feedback. That living room is bigger than the entire upper floor of my house. Which houses three bedrooms and a bathroom. Also lol at the double "TV above". Good thing about a giant living room is that you could set yourself up however you wanted. You got four corners, you could do TV area, play area, computer desk/home office/gaming corner... and/or a bigass pool table in the middle. You don't seem to be hurting for bedrooms or guest bedrooms. Do you need a home office? When I entered my teens, my parents repurposed a never-used dining room and made it into a fairly big teenager bedroom, with, basically, private entrance and very far away from the master bedroom. Me and my two brothers had it prior to moving away from home, and I think it was a good call for all involved. Maybe think 5-10 years ahead?

My new question is why there is only an L shaped counter instead of an island or something to break it out from the rest of that giant space that is now logically your formal dining room. The old dining room can be an office I guess. Edit: I don't like that you have to go around the bathroom and pantry and through that other room to get to the kitchen from the living room.
